Thanks, I finally got this to build by inserting
"GCC=$(STAGING_DIR)/arm-elf-linux" in my $(MAKE) .... all
target in the boost.mk file in my Buildroot system.

[Though I think I'm going to have to change the
toolchain to use "arm-linux-eabi" soon]

Had to explicitly state 'arm-elf-linux' so that the unprefixed tool names
(e.g. gcc, ld ...) as used by boost build would work OK.
Couldn't find an option to prefix 'arm-elf-linux-' to all the toolnames;
the above-mentioned GCC and GXX options don't affect the rest of the tools.
There ought to be a TOOL_PREFIX option ...

Thanks again,
Mike
